The purpose of this toy is to demonstrate to young children concepts of height as a form of potential energy, rotational work, and kinetic energy in the form of rolling. A kid will be able to transport a small rubber ball up the winding steps of a lighthouse, which sits at the center of the plastic coastal landscape, by rotating a spinning wheel at the base of the lighthouse. When the ball reaches the top, the energy from rotating the wheel will be released in the spinning of the top of the lighthouse and the flashing of its lights. The rubber ball will then roll down a twisting, winding path, navigating curves surrounded by seagulls, sand-bridges, and cut through sand-castles until it stops in a basin at the bottom of the toy.

The whole of the landscape will be molded out of plastic as well as the lighthouse, which will keep construction costs very low. Also, the toy contains no dangerous parts and the spinning of the lighthouse top will be self-contained within the structure's plastic shell.
